Halima Tickets

Raised by her mother between Lagos and London, and now based in Brooklyn, Halima draws from a tri-continental well. As an only child, she learned to blend introspective periods spent alone with the collaborative day camps and community programs she at-tended for theatre and music. As early as primary school, she remembers developing processes for bringing musicians together, continually from a place of creation. From early explorations of folk and piano to later studies of jazz and R&B, Halima’s career has evolved, making pit stops in pop-punk, neo-soul,and electronic along the way. Now, her sound pulls unapologetically from a broad musical spectrum, nodding sonically to those defining experiences and pushing forward toward a more pointed exploration of self.

Outside of her creative work, Halima is also a co-founder and active member of a Brooklyn women’s collective that meets weekly to navigate life in the music industry, practice community therapy, and celebrate chosen family, which she describes as a process of “adding structures to unstructured life”. Altogether, Halima’s work embodies the intersection of self-discovery, community, and the complexity of life’s connections, across mediums.
